At ANILAM, we learned that you wanted a readout system that provides you with greater flexibility, increased productivity, easy feature access, better accuracy and improved workpiece quality. We applied what we learned and put your wants and needs first.

The result...ANILAM's complete family of operator-friendly readout systems.......

These new readouts combine with the all new SENC 50, SENC 150, ENC 125andENC 250precision glass scale linear encoders to give you the CLEAR CHOICE in readout systems.

ANILAM is one of the market leaders for digital readout systems in North America, and has consistently set DRO design standards for nearly 40 Years! The heart of ANILAM's new product design is the Wizard 1000 and 550 for All Manual Machine Tool Applications. The major innovation of theWizard 1000 and Wizard 550 DRO consoles is the clear LCD display which replaces the traditional LED and VFD display technology still used by others. All new Wizard 1000 and 550 consoles have 5.7", 320 x 240 resolution transmissive LCD displays, the latest in flat screen technology.

Major benefits of this display technology are that users can now configure the Wizard 1000 console for a 2-, 3- or 4-axes display and can set the application software for milling or turning according to their needs. This versatility obsoletes the expensive need for users to buy multiple application-specific consoles.

Major benefits of this display technology are that users can now configure the Wizard 550 console for a 2- or 3-axis display and can set the application software for milling, turning, grinding or general use according to their needs. This versatility obsoletes the expensive need for users to buy multiple application-specific consoles.

ANILAM readout systems include Position-Trac™, a unique feature that answers the need for battery backup by enabling the operator to easily, quickly and accurately re-establish workpiece zero after power loss. Position-Trac™ works by using a very precise distance encrypted (coded) fiducial trigger output (FTO) line pattern that gets placed onto the glass scale. Our new readouts then use proprietary software to de-code the line pattern. This enables the operator to accurately re-establish zero from any position, significantly reducing time consuming set ups.

EverTrackTM
Additional
precision grating on the RBS and RBM linear
encoders ensure permanent position tracking.
The position will never be lost due to power
interruptions.

Radius/Diameter Mode
The
console can display the position either as a
radius or diameter, an invaluable feature
for lathes.

Machine Error Compensation
Machine
mechanics are never exact. A correction
factor can be set for each axis
independently. Just move the axis a known
distance, input what it should have been and
the wizard will automatically make the
necessary correction. Correction is linear
in Wizard 211 and can vary over four
segments in other models.

Absolute/Incremental Mode
This
feature allows positioning using either an
absolute datum or the last position as
reference for subsequent moves. Selectable
with a single key stroke.

Interactive Message Display
The
Wizard will calculate actual feed-rate and
display here, or the job clock can be read.
Also in this display, the Wizard will prompt
for data input, making the most demanding
operations easy to set up. With the built in
help utility, the Wizard will tell the
operator what the proper F-codes are.

Bolthole
patterns are often symmetric. The Wizard 450
will automatically calculate all the
positions for circular, linear, array or
frame patterns, from a minimum of data
entry. Only the centerpoint, diameter and
number of holes are required for a full
circular hole pattern with up to 360 holes.

Tool Length Offsets

The
Wizard 450L will keep track of tool lengths
offsets, so there is no need to redatum
tools.Axis Coupling

When
there are two slides on the same axis, the
Wizard will couple the two positions
together. The operator can use the slides
independently and the Wizard will
automatically calculate the true tool
position.

Programmability
The
Wizard 900 and Wizard 900E store programs
like in an electronic notepad. There's up to
500 locations available. The memory can keep
many programs in store, independently
labeled.

Skew Compensation
Instead
of wasting productive time for setting up
jobs, use skew compensation and the Wizard
will automatically make the necessary
corrections to part misalignment.
